CATASTROPHE: Flood Forecast

William Henry Dick of Memphis swept an expert eye up the mighty
Mississippi, up all its northern tributaries, up the Wisconsin, the
Minnesota, the Skunk, the Turkey, the Rum, the Black, the Zumbro, the
Bad Axe, the Sauk. He saw streams swollen, lands saturated by heavy
rains, abnormally early snows. If spring rains should be torrential. . . .

"One need not be a prophet," warned President William Henry Dick of the
Mississippi River Flood Control Association last week, "to forecast
another flood for this spring."
